Clinical Trial Summary

This study collects information about perception of cure among patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). This study aims to determine patients' perception (knowledge) before starting immunotherapy and if differences exist in understanding of treatment to stimulate or restore the ability of the body's immune (defense) system to fight infection and disease (immunotherapy) based on social and economic factors or on race/ethnicity.

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess the proportion of patients with metastatic cancer who anticipate cure before starting immunotherapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine if expectations of cure are associated with quality of life and distress. II. To determine if patients' perceptions differ by gender, age, and ethnicity. OUTLINE: Patients complete surveys over 30 minutes about sociodemographic information and perception of immunotherapy, over 10 minutes about expectations of cure, over 10 minutes about anxiety, over 10 minutes about depression, and over 30 minutes about physical well-being. Patients' medical records are reviewed.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of patients	Will assess the percentage of patients who anticipate cure before starting immunotherapy, scoring a '1' on the Perception of cure tool, and anticipate >75% chance for a cure.	Up to 2 years
Primary	Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)	Descriptive analyses (e.g. frequency statistics) will be used to characterize the sample and to look at the association between Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) tool score with perception of cure score.	Up to 2 years
Primary	Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G)	Descriptive analyses (e.g. frequency statistics) will be used to characterize the sample and to look at the association between Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) overall score with perception of cure score.	Up to 2 years
Primary	Perceptions of cure	Chi-square analyses will be used to examine perceptions of cure by sociodemographic characteristics: gender (male and female), age (< 60 and > 60), and ethnicity (white non-Hispanic, Hispanic, and other).	Up to 2 years
